I'm not referring to the Bible, but what devout Christians believe in, and whether they're WLC or Catholics or Evangelicals, they tell people not to have sex or anything resembling sex before marriage, and they'll claim that it's written in the Bible (like WLC does).
But I guess that you're trying to say that Shane Harper doesn't care what surrounding Christians say but that he took the Bible and singlehandedly decided for himself what a devout Christian means.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
